Rendition In Favor Of Books En l'absence des hommes

Occasionally, you pick up a book not quite knowing why you chose to read it in the first place, but then gradually, page by page, you start to realize that almost every chapter tells you a little about yourself, about your life. You find that you could send whole fragments of text to relevant people in your life because those fragments tell them precisely the things that you dare not tell them or wish to tell them. This novel will undoubtedly become one of the books that will never leave me and stay on my shelf until the day I die.

"The book is a child, too. First, one must be in love, or have been so; one must feel the fire of passion or the bitter sting of loneliness, the hollowness of absence, in order to begin a book. Love and writing are intimately linked, for one engenders the other."- Philippe Besson (82)

At first I had trouble relating to or having empathy for Vincent, the central character in this novella. He was self-centered, spoiled, insulated from life with his aristocratic upbringing. Also, I had trouble at first following the sudden changes in narrator - I would be in the middle of a paragraph before I realized that it was not Vincent but Marcel or Arthur was narrating. A subtle and clever literary device that made me slow down and pat closer attention. When I did, the story became both



Meh. This begins in a pretty compelling way but by halfway through was really annoying me. I can just about believe that a 16-year-old would be precocious (and pretentious) enough to record his coming-of-agey encounters with such pseudo-philosophical self awareness, but when the other characters make their voices heard they ALL TALK IN THE SAME WAY. I suppose Proust might have encouraged such wankery, but no solider in the Great War would have had the patience to muse upon life and death with

As I'm doing some reading summaries of 2018, I have decided that In the Absence of Men is the greatest disappointment of the year for me. I would like to believe that Polish translation is to blame, to some extent at least but unfortunately, this is the second book by Besson and I didnt like either of them. In both I genuinely like the idea but the execution is a little disaster.Lets start with the fact that the narrator of the novel, Vincent, is one of the most unpleasant characters I can think

Sau khi đọc "Đừng tự dối mình", tôi bèn tìm những cuốn khác của Philippe Besson đọc và chỉ tìm thấy "In The Absence Of Men" là có bản tiếng Anh. Cuốn tiểu thuyết đầu tay của Philippe Besson được viết để dành tặng cho nhà văn có ảnh hưởng rất lớn đến sự nghiệp sáng tác của ông: Marcel Proust, dù Marcel Proust không phải là nhân vật chính, câu chuyện xoay quanh mối tình của chàng trai 17 tuổi với một người lính nơi chiến trường. Một cuốn sách đẹp đẽ, rung động, giàu chất thơ và trần đầy nhục cảm,
